IMPROVEMENT IN CHURN-DASH ERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 37,357, dated January6, 1863.

To all whom it may concern:

, Be it knownthat we, MILTON J. PALMER,

'of Homer, in the county of Courtland and proved Uhuru-Dash for Ohurns;4and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a transversesection, like letters referring to like parts. i

t a are floats firmly fastened at theends upon the cross-bars b b. Inthe centers of the latter, at b b, are the journalsupon which the dashrevolves. The iioats a a being hollowed out on their front face,referring to the direction in which they revolve, as shown by the arrow,the trough in the float is closed at the ends by the cross-bars b b. Theslats c c are thin strips extending across from one ioat `to the other,and at right angles to such floats,

butwith their side facesv set at an angle of about forty-five degreeswith the plane in `which the dash revolves.

The operation of this dash is such that the floats a a, by means of thecircular groove in them, carry air into the cream, the dash revolvinghorizontally, and the slats c c, by being set at the angle aforesaid,not only cut or divide the cream in passing through it, but throwgit oneside and the other at each entire revolution, as at everyhalf-revolution the said slats present Jtheir side faces on oppositesides, thus rapidly and thoroughly agitating the cream. In practice itis found to do the work quickly and eftectually.

uWe do not claim the oats a a or their peculiar form.

What we do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, s

The manner of setting `the slats c c across the dash from` oat to float,with their side faces at au angle to the plane in which the dashrevolves, when used in combination with said floats a a, substantiallyas above described.
